EDITORS COMMENTS
The Art of Typing: A Comic Take on Office Life" In this delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, we find ourselves in the midst of an office scene, where a dapper man in a suit and fedora sits confidently behind a desk, while a pretty secretary, with her legs crossed elegantly, sits before a typewriter. The man, with a smug expression on his face, seems to be giving her typing lessons, while she appears unconcerned and even a little amused. The scene is reminiscent of the traditional office setup of the time, where men held positions of power and authority, and women served as secretaries or typists. But this comic postcard adds a playful twist to the situation, as the man seems to be deceiving his boss into believing that he is training the secretary, when in reality, she is the one teaching him a thing or two about typing. The man's expression is one of false seriousness, while the woman's crossed legs and slight smile suggest that she is in on the joke. The typewriter, an essential tool of the time, adds to the nostalgic feel of the image. The overall effect is a light-hearted and fun take on office life, showcasing the deception and playfulness that could exist even in the most formal of settings. This charming comic postcard is a perfect reminder of the humorous side of office life in the 20th century, and is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. It is a wonderful addition to any collection of vintage comic postcards or office memorabilia." Mary Evans Picture Library/Mary Evans
